It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Halloween! What better way to celebrate this spooky season than to lean into your supernatural creature archetypes. Each of the 12 zodiac signs has a symbol associated with it. For Libra it’s the scales, Scorpio is the scorpion, but what if we reimagined these symbols as classic Halloween characters? Scroll down and read for your sun, moon, rising, Venus and Mars signs! Will you dress up as one of these spooks for Halloween this year, or maybe combine all three archetypes into one mishmashed costume?! Which supernatural creature are you based on your zodiac sign?
Aries: Werewolves
This Mars ruled fire sign knows a thing or two about rage, but not every Aries sign feels at home in their anger. Sometimes it can feel like your irritability brings forth a whole new person! You can relate to the werewolf because you too can become overrun with intense feelings, but your greatest lesson is in the acceptance of your wild self. The more you can create space for your anger the better off you’ll be.
Taurus: Zombies
As an Earth sign, Taurus tends to be loyal to a fault. I’m sure you’ve found yourself accidentally staying in a relationship months or even years longer than you should have. You tend to crave the comfort of being known over the rawness of heartbreak just like a zombie, staggering with arms outstretched. Don’t be a stage 5 zombie clinger and instead learn how to walk away when things have died.
Gemini: Gremlins
If you grew up in the 80s or 90s you learned the important lesson of “don’t feed your gremlins after midnight!” That’s a bit of a misnomer though, because they only turn into Gremlins when you do feed them after midnight, otherwise they are cute cuddly Mogwai. These often misunderstood supernatural creatures are just like the often misunderstood zodiac sign Gemini. You, too, have the ability to be both cute and fearsome, cuddly yet mischievous. What happens when you feed a Gemini after midnight?
Cancer: Ghosts
Cancer is a water sign, so emotions come naturally and easily to these signs. And Cancer has a particular penchant for nostalgia, often remembering the past as something much better than it was. More than that, one of your biggest struggles as a Cancer is letting the past go! Just like a ghost you linger too long in the places you’ve outgrown. Maybe it’s time to move on and see what the next phase of life is all about.
What to Dress Up as for Halloween Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Leo: Mummies
Mummies are just zombies from a higher socioeconomic class… the royal Egyptian echelon that is! If you have the honor of being mummified then that means you truly were somebody way back when. And that’s the thing about Leos, they are famous no matter where they’re born or what they do. Just like a mummy, you are meant to shine in life and in death!
Virgo: Mad Scientist
The thing that makes a Virgo tick is the need to know how everything works. Virgos are gifted and doomed with a near insatiable need to know things, which is why you’re the mad scientists of our monster mash. Not everyone understands your genius, but not everyone needs to. You’ll find the Jekylls to match your Hyde the more true to you you are.
Libra: Succubus
You may have heard the term succubus, but what does it mean? Succubae are similar to vampires because they are demons that feed off humans, but they don’t have a taste for blood. Instead, succubae suck the life force from their victims, usually during sex. Libra tends to bond in a similar way. Maybe you don’t suck the life out of your partner or best friend but you do gain more life force the more time you spend with your loved ones.
Scorpio: Vampire
How could this Pluto ruled water sign not be a vampire!? Scorpio is all about lavishing in the dark depths of human connection, and that’s exactly the kind of relationship we see mirrored in the myths of the vampire. One is a gorgeous night time supernatural creature who can only survive on the blood of their lover, and the other is a vampire!
Sagittarius: Witches
Sagittarius is a passionate fire sign known for shamelessness and rule breaking. As a Sagittarius, you have a strong sense of adventure, a thirst for knowledge and a rebellious streak that certainly would have you burned at the stake in the 1400s. And imagine the money you’d save on plane tickets if you could just hop on a broom instead!
Tarot Deck Review: The Halloween Oracle
Capricorn: Skeleton
As an earth sign Capricorns have a keen understanding of and appreciation for rules, structure and form. Skeletons are the bosses of the body, they dictate how tall you are, how broad your shoulders are, how open your hips are, etc. Plus, in medical astrology the bones are actually ruled by the sign Capricorn!
Aquarius: Alien
You’ve probably seen aliens being equated with Aquarius before, maybe you’re even tired of the trope! Why are our extraterrestrial friends so linked to this air sign? Aquarius is the observer, the person who lingers on the edges of the group listening. You sometimes have the problem of feeling like an outsider and a weirdo. Aliens are a perfect metaphor for how it can feel to be an Aquarius. It’s time to come in peace because your friends love you just the way you are (and if they don’t they are not your friends!!)
Pisces: Grim Reaper
Pisces is not only the last of the water signs, it’s the last sign of the zodiac (the astrology new year starts on day 1 of Aries season). Being that this sign is ruled by Neptune, it also has a certain otherworldly quality. It’s said that a proliferation of Pisces placements can mean that someone has psychic and/or mediumship abilities. Pisces has a more liminal relationship between life and death than the rest of us, which is why you’re the Grim Reaper.
